Chapter 316: I Have Been Sitting In a Small Space With a Stranger For a Long Time Today

Nan Wan finally could not help but ask, “Why do you disagree to everything I say and everything Shi Xi says?”
Professor Qiao asked in puzzlement, “Do I?”
Nan Wan said, “Don’t tell me you don’t? Manicures and amusement parks were all proposed by me.”
“Yes, thank you for your suggestion,” Professor Qiao added. “Even though it’s useless.”
Nan Wan was struck again.
Shi Xi echoed, “These are just social interactions. They’re really useless.”
Nan Wan: ?!
Bai Cangyang said helplessly, “Sister Qiao doesn’t talk to people often. Sometimes, she might be a little more straightforward.”
“You mean to say that I’m too calculative?” Nan Wan asked back.
“Yes.” Professor Qiao nodded.
Bai Cangyang left the chat.
Shi Xi wanted to nod, but held back.
Chang Qiwen bought a ticket and came back. “Let’s go. Let’s go in directly.”
Nan Wan said angrily, “Go in what? You guys go ahead and play. I won’t accompany you guys anymore!”
With that, Nan Wan waved her hand and left.
Chang Qiwen was stunned. “What happened?”
Gao Tingyu looked at the people present and saw that they were all watching from the other side.
She could only say, “I’ll go and have a chat with Nan Wan.”
Shi Xi took the tickets from Chang Qiwen’s hands and said, “Then let’s go in and play.”
Chang Qiwen: ?!
“Then what about Nan Wan and Tingyu?” Chang Qiwen asked.
“Isn’t there a QR code on it? Just send the code to them directly.” Shi Xi smiled and said, “Since we’re already here, let’s play to our heart’s content.”
Chang Qiwen felt that Shi Xi was the one who would be permanently hosting this show.
Shi Xi: The guest is the host.
Bai Cangyang shrugged. “I don’t have any objections.”
No one liked to endure a missy’s temper all the time.
Chang Qiwen could only go in and start the amusement park tour with them.
Shi Xi took a bunch of selfies with her phone.
She even got the cameraman to take a few shots of her from different angles, wanting to go back and send a vlog.
It was only when she felt a little uncomfortable that Shi Xi stopped.
She used the mirror on the compact that she carried with her to take a look, and her face turned a little red.
Perhaps it was from the sun?
Shi Xi used the compact to press down on her face, not taking it to heart.
Professor Qiao felt that the amusement park was childish. As expected, they didn’t really play much, and most of the time, they sat on the merry-go-round.
After sitting on it three times in a row, Shi Xi felt dizzy.
But Professor Qiao still wanted to sit on it for the fourth time.
Shi Xi said, “Let’s change to another project?”
“How about a roller coaster?” Bai Cangyang suggested.
“You young people can really play.” Chang Qiwen was the first to raise his hand and withdraw.
“That project that relied on the thrust of the catapult or the chain to climb to the highest point, converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy, and then from kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy, has been doing nothing?” Professor Qiao looked at the screaming crowd, she said, “I’m not interested.”
Shi Xi suggested, “What about the ferris wheel?”
Professor Qiao was silent for a moment, then said, “I’ve been sitting in a narrow space with a stranger for a long time today.”
Bai Cangyang looked at Shi Xi in puzzlement.
Shi Xi said, “Sister Qiao, you mean on the way here by car with us.”
“We’re strangers?” Bai Cangyang could not believe it.
“This is the first time we’ve met,” Professor Qiao said matter-of-factly. “And judging from our conversation today, we probably won’t have any interactions in the future.”
Bai Cangyang finally understood Nan Wan’s feelings.
Professor Qiao did not rebuke him, but the words she said were not what he liked to hear.
Shi Xi immediately gave up on communicating and asked, “Does anyone want to eat ice cream?”
Perhaps it was because it was too hot that her face was red and itchy. She just wanted to eat something cold.
Other than Professor Qiao, everyone raised their hands.
Chang Qiwen asked, “We can buy tickets for the merry-go-round again. Does anyone want to sit on it?”
Professor Qiao raised her hand.

On the other side, after Nan Wan left, she got into the car.
She wanted to see if this show could still be recorded without her!
Gao Tingyu got into the car and began to comfort Nan Wan.
Nan Wan went in one ear and out the other. She looked at the entrance of the amusement park and realized that they had entered!
They had entered?!

Nan Wan was stunned.
Under such circumstances, shouldn’t they have come over to comfort her?
Why was it only Gao Tingyu who came over to comfort her?
The few of them had actually entered the amusement park directly?
Moreover, wasn’t Shi Xi allergic to seafood?! Why was there no reaction at all now?!
Could it be that the dosage was too low?
Nan Wan was even angrier.
Gao Tingyu only cared about comforting Nan Wan and did not look at the situation outside. “Wan Wan, everyone is waiting for you alone. Don’t be angry, okay?”
“Wait for me alone? They have already gone in. How could they be waiting for me?!” Nan Wan gritted her teeth and said this.
“Ah?” Gao Tingyu quickly turned her head and saw that the figures of the few of them had disappeared from the entrance of the amusement park. “Why aren’t they waiting for us? I’ll ask them.”
Gao Tingyu took out her phone and saw the QR code for the entrance tickets that had been sent out in the WeChat group.
She asked in the group, [Are you guys leaving just like that?]
The people who were playing at the amusement park did not see the message at all.
..
In the end, it was the program team’s director who came forward to mediate and agreed to let Nan Wan lead the next segment. Only then did the young miss’s anger subside.
After coming out of the amusement park, Nan Wan smiled and said, “Let’s go and do some handicrafts together?”
Professor Qiao looked at the time. “I’m sorry. You guys go and play. I have to go back and rest.”
The smile on Nan Wan’s face froze.
The director knew that things were not looking good.
He had spent so much effort to coax Nan Wan, and now she was about to flare up again!
“I think it’s almost time. Do we still need to record?” Shi Xi added fuel to the fire. “It’s almost time to get off work.”
Nan Wan turned around and left.
Professor Qiao said, “Looks like we can get off work now.”
The others: “…”
Shi Xi pretended not to notice Nan Wan’s anger. Professor Qiao really did not notice Nan Wan’s anger.
The recording ended here.
At night.
After Shi Xi removed her makeup, she realized that there were a few red spots on her face.
When she was at the amusement park in the afternoon, she noticed that her face was a little itchy. But because she had put on makeup, Shi Xi had suppressed the urge to scratch it.
Zhu Lin came in with a midnight snack and said, “Xi Xi, do you want some cold baked noodles?”
“My face is a little red.” Shi Xi looked over and frowned. “Am I allergic to some makeup?”
“Face?” Zhu Lin hurriedly looked over and said in surprise, “What, what happened to your face?”
“I don’t know. It was a little itchy in the afternoon. I just removed my makeup and it became like this.” Shi Xi looked at the makeup remover. “Could it be that I’m allergic to this?”
“The makeup was used before. How could you be allergic to it?” Zhu Lin asked, “Did you eat seafood?”
Shi Xi recalled, “No, I ate hotpot for lunch and ice cream in the afternoon. I haven’t eaten it in the evening.”
Zhu Lin had been following by Shi Xi’s side the whole time. After confirming that Shi Xi had not eaten seafood and could not come up with any ideas, she could only say, “Let’s go to the doctor first and get some medicine.”
“If it’s an allergy,” Shi Xi stretched out her hand and said, “I have some allergy medicine in my bag. Just take two.”
Zhu Lin took out her phone. “I’ll give Brother Han a call.”
Shi Xi retracted her outstretched hand. “Alright, I’ll get it myself.”
As she was holding the medicine, Shi Xi heard Han Chuan’s voice from Zhu Lin’s phone:
“When did you feel uncomfortable?” Han Chuan asked.
Shi Xi replied, “In the afternoon.”
Han Chuan asked, “Before or after eating ice cream?”
Shi Xi thought for a moment and said, “Before eating ice cream.”
Han Chuan said, “It must have been during the hot pot at noon. You accidentally ate some seafood.”
“But I didn’t eat any seafood.” Shi Xi recalled what she had eaten at noon and said, “After the shrimp slipped in, I stopped eating.”
“Maybe it was the seasoning of the seafood hotpot or the seasoning in the middle used seafood.” Han Chuan’s guess was very close.

Chapter 318: I’ll Pass On Your Exact Words To My Brother

Shi Xi took two pills. “Probably.”
She didn’t pay too much attention to it.
Han Chuan opened the video and looked at Shi Xi’s face. “Can we still record tomorrow?”
“…Can’t I take a day off since I’m already like this?” Shi Xi whispered, “Han Bapi.”
Han Bapi said coldly, “All the money you earn is for the company. Speaking of which, your brother is the one who’s Bapi.”
“I’ll pass on your exact words to my brother,” said Shi Xi.
Han Chuan: “…”
“The red dots aren’t very serious. It should be fine by tomorrow,” said Shi Xi. “If it’s not possible, do you want to put on makeup by force?”
“I’ll talk to the director tomorrow first and wait for my news.” Han Chuan hung up the phone.
After Shi Xi took the medicine, she saw the grilled cold noodles on the table and asked, “Can I eat this?”
Zhu Lin said, “Sure, I specially ordered one without sauce.”
Shi Xi thought of something and said, “When we had hotpot in the afternoon, it was Nan Wan’s sauce.”
Zhu Lin said, “You mean, what did she put in it?”
“I’m not sure, but they should all know about my seafood allergy.” Shi Xi said in realization, “No wonder she was so kind to help us make the dipping sauce all of a sudden!”
Zhu Lin said angrily, “Isn’t this person too much?!”
Shi Xi ate the grilled cold noodles and said, “Too much! I originally thought that she made the delicious dipping sauce to apologize to me!”
Zhu Lin: ?
“If Nan Wan really apologizes, will you forgive her?” Zhu Lin asked.
“No.” Shi Xi said hatefully, “Go and find out what she’s allergic to!”
Zhu Lin was silent for a moment. “Alright.”
Shi Xi finished eating the cold baked noodles and prayed that she would recover overnight.
The next morning, the first thing Shi Xi did when she woke up was to look at her face in the mirror.
There were still red spots, but they were much better than yesterday.
They would all disappear in about two days.
Shi Xi took a picture in the mirror and sent it to Han Chuan. “Do I still have to rush to work today?”
Han Chuan: “Turn off the beauty filter and take another photo.”
Shi Xi: “No, I can’t leave such an ugly photo.”
“What do you look like that I haven’t seen before?” Han Chuan was convinced and said, “I’ll give you three days off. The money will be deducted from your work fees.”
It wasn’t easy to earn money. Xi Xi sighed.
However, she could finally rest!
Shi Xi wanted to go home, but when she thought of her own face, she didn’t dare to go back and get scolded.
Zhu Lin bought breakfast and came back. After closing the door, she couldn’t help but say, “Xi Xi, the variety show that they asked you to do previously has been changed to Nan Wan!”
Shi Xi raised his head and raised her voice. “Huh?”
Zhu Lin set up the breakfast and said indignantly, “Today, you should be the one recording [Landscape Life]!”
“But because of your allergy, Brother Han canceled it at the last minute. That director actually asked Nan Wan to do it!!”
“This Nan Wan is really good!” Shi Xi sat up straight and frowned slightly. “She made me empty my work for three days and even stole my job.”
“But we have no evidence to prove that she made you allergic to seafood.” Zhu Lin said regretfully, “Even if she did it, if she said it wasn’t intentional, we wouldn’t be able to pursue it.”
“Go and look at her later announcements. I want to snatch it from her too!” Shi Xi was furious.
“Alright!” Zhu Lin thought for a while and said, “But you don’t have time later on. There’s no time to snatch it from her.”
Shi Xi: I was careless.
“Let’s eat first,” Zhu Lin said, “Oh right, I went to check the taboo points of Nan Wan. She doesn’t have anything allergic to, but she doesn’t allow others to ask her age.”
Shi Xi was puzzled. “How old is she?”

Zhu Lin: “24.”
Shi Xi was eating the xiao long bao and asked in puzzlement, “She’s still young. Why does she care so much about her age?”
Zhu Lin shook her head. “I don’t understand. Maybe she thinks she’s old? Right now, the entertainment industry is filled with young people. She’s probably afraid of being called ‘auntie’, right?”
Shi Xi was similarly clueless, so she stopped thinking about it.
Meanwhile, Shi Xi was supposed to be recording [Landscape Life], but she had been replaced by Nan Wan at the last minute, and some people in the small circle knew about it.
Some people guessed that Nan Wan had snatched Shi Xi’s job, while others said that Shi Xi was acting like a big shot.
All sorts of guesses, but they were all just guesses.
*
A week later, [Amateur Makeover] officially aired.
From the moment it aired, the transformation team’s stereotypical impression of the female doctor annoyed the audience.
[So what if she’s a female doctor? So what if she’s 35 years old and hasn’t fallen in love? Is it your turn to point fingers at her?]
[It’s good that Sister Qiao looks young. Even if she doesn’t take care of her skin, her skin condition is still very good.]
[She’s 35 years old and hasn’t gotten married yet, yet they’re still not allowed to say anything? If she gets married like this, will she still be able to have children?]
[Anyway, she’s not going to have children with you, so why do you care so much? What’s the matter? How much property does your family have that you have to have a child to inherit?]
[…]
The program team was indeed a variety show specialist. The topics they chose easily stirred up a conflict.
When it came to choosing clothes, they were scolded because the clothes Shi Xi chose were too revealing.
[Shi Xi is a nightclub girl, so she picked out such clothes, right?]
[Don’t pick out clothes for others with such taste. She’s a female doctor, not a nightclub girl.]
[Shi Xi is indeed a fake daughter who can’t stand up to the public. The clothes she bought look so cheap.]
[…]
But after Professor Qiao expressed her love for it, the group of people fell silent again.
[This is so funny. Sister Qiao didn’t even say anything. Why are you all pointing fingers at her?]
[In Sister Qiao’s words, are you all still alive in the Qing Dynasty?]
[You died so early in the morning. Can’t you even wear suspenders? And there’s even a cardigan outside.]
[…]
Due to Shi Xi, this episode had only aired for two hours, but the broadcast had already exceeded a million views.
Ji Yin, on the other hand, methodically arranged for her fans to browse Weibo topics and bullet messages.
Other than the fans, there were also Sunset CP fans who were crazily eating candy:
[When picking out clothes, Xiao Bai looks at his big sister with such a doting gaze! The clothes that Xiao Bai matches Big Sister with are also very suitable!]
[You don’t call someone this young Big Sister. Your thoughts are a little wild.]
[Xiao Bai is fighting to help Big Sister wash the vegetables. He’s really doting on her!]
[Xiao Bai knows that Xi Xi is allergic to seafood. He’s deliberately protecting her. He’s a gentle little brother who cares about his sister!]
While the fans were fighting and drinking candy, some sharp-eyed fans discovered a blind spot.
[Xi Xi is allergic to seafood, but Nan Wan seems to have poured seafood soy sauce as a dipping sauce just now?]
[Zoom in and take a closer look. It’s indeed seafood soy sauce. It’s what I use at home!]
[D*mn! Nan Wan did it on purpose, didn’t she? It was the same when she wanted to slip in the shrimp. She didn’t even say anything before she poured it into the pot!]
Nan Wan took the initiative to help prepare the dipping sauce. The program team specially gave several shots to highlight Nan Wan’s virtuous and gentle character.
The fans were very impressed by this. They even said that Nan Wan was magnanimous and willing to contribute to the small team.
In the end, when the soy sauce bottle was magnified, the words ‘seafood soy sauce’ could be clearly seen.
The netizens even found the same soy sauce bottle and directly smashed the seafood soy sauce that Nan Wan used.
Nan Wan’s fans did not admit it at first, but after being smashed to death, they started to defend themselves:
[Not everyone knows that Shi Xi is allergic to seafood. Does everyone have to spoil Shi Xi?]
[If you’re so delicate, then don’t come to the show! The fake daughter still thinks she’s some little princess?]

Chapter 320: Good Night, World

After the news spread online, Shi Xi received a call from Shi Xu.
And it was a video call.
“Are you alright?” Shi Xu asked.
“Uh, my allergic reaction is very weak. I’ve recovered after taking the medicine.” Shi Xi held her face. “Look, my face is fine.”
Shi Xu: “So, you’re really allergic?”
Shi Xi nodded.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Shi Xu frowned slightly, his eyes filled with displeasure.
“It’s just a small matter. I didn’t want to tell you guys and make you worry,” Shi Xi said. “Dad and Mom don’t know, right?”
“You still want to hide it from me?” Mother Shi couldn’t help but snatch the phone from him.
She nagged, “I told you not to enter the entertainment industry, but you just didn’t listen. Did you have to wait until you hit your head and regret it? Can’t you just go to school properly? How much money can you earn in the entertainment industry? In the future, you…”
Shi Xi interrupted, “Mom, this scarf is new, right? It’s really beautiful.”
Mother Shi pulled the new scarf around her neck and said, “I went to custom-make it. I drew this pattern myself!”
“No wonder it’s so beautiful. Mom is really amazing.” Shi Xi coaxed her mother with just a few words.
Shi Xu listened from the side and felt rather helpless.
Didn’t she say that she was going to call his sister to persuade her to go home?
Why did she surrender so quickly?
“Oh right, the temperature has dropped now. Remember to wear the scarf that I knitted for you!” Shi Xi added.
Shi Xu said calmly, “It’s not that cold yet.”
Shi Xi said, “I’m just giving you a reminder.”
Shi Xu said, ‘I’d rather freeze to death in this snowy world than wear the scarf that Shi Xi knitted.’
After chatting with the two of them for a while, Shi Xi dispelled their worries and won the chance to continue fighting in the entertainment industry.
“Then you should rest well. Don’t be too tired. Mom saw the show you were on. Xi Xi is really outstanding! You’re especially photogenic!” Mother Shi looked at her female goose with eyes full of love.
“Don’t worry. I can definitely take care of myself,” Shi Xi said. “And Brother found me an assistant and a bodyguard. Nothing will happen to me.”
Satisfied, Mother Shi said, “If there’s anything else you need, just tell me.”
Shi Xi said, “Okay, good night, Mom!”
After hanging up the phone, Shi Xu asked, “Mom, do you still remember why you made this call?”
Mother Shi’s mind instantly went blank. She hesitated and said, “Let’s see how Xi Xi is doing recently.”
Shi Xu was silent.
She had originally wanted to persuade Shi Xi to leave the entertainment industry.
“Yes, I think she’s doing quite well recently.” Shi Xu put away his phone and said to Mother Shi, “Rest early.”
Mother Shi smoothed out her scarf and came back to her senses. “Next time, buy a scarf for Xi Xi as well.”
*
After comforting her family, Shi Xi dealt with her friends again.
It was only when her friends in the entertainment industry asked her about it that Shi Xi realized that she had added a little too many friends.
Hence, she had no choice but to send a selfie to her moments: “Good night, world.”
She was not sick.
Shi Xi directly ignored the others who came to get close to her.
Cut down on social interaction.
Shi Xi felt that she was already a qualified big shot and had already started not replying to other people’s messages.
Putting down her phone, Shi Xi slept very soundly.
She did not feel guilty at all for not replying to their messages.
When she heard the ringtone of her phone, Shi Xi instantly sat up.
This was the ringtone that she had set for Xie Yunzhou.
Why was it ringing?
Had she provoked Xie Yunzhou recently?
No.
Had she looked for Ning Yu recently?
No.
Shi Xi quickly thought about it in her mind before she answered the call. “Good evening?”
